W-Body store headers

Hey everyone, my first post in here I have an account at NAIOA as well. I bought some w-body store headers for their black friday sale and installed them last week. I know alot of people have been wanting to see these on a car and thats what Im here for. Not sure if anyone on here has put them up but ill add to it if they have. BTW car is a 2004 Impala SS with the 3.8 sc.

They look fairly similar to what ive seen from the zzp headers except for the rear header-downpipe connection and EGR connection are differnt. Sound pretty good too. Still had to bend the trans dipstick tube, and bend the ac lines down a bit in the front other than that fit pretty well.
 


Not bad rear header was a pain to slide in there but front header wasn't too bad and downpipe went pretty good. Egr didn't want to fit into where it was supposed to go but I coaxed it in there lol
 
Pretty much only difference is material and size from the others. I was just adding this for anyone that was thinking about buying them or if someone wanted to add it to the header list that seems to be on every w body website
 
honestly if i go with headers again i may drop the coin for a set of ZZP or WBS headers just to have a nicer set. either that or i have to hunt down a set of used S&S which might take me years to accomplish..
 


I was honestly looking at zzp headers before then black friday hit and these were 500 including a downpipe. So I did some research and other than a few minor changes (rear header to downpipe connection, and EGR connection) They are the same size and everything so not to bash on zzp but these are basically the same thing but cheaper and include the downpipe. Easy desicion for me.
 
I love the fit and finish of my SLP headers, install seemed really easy going(minus a broken manifold stud), but time consuming like the others. The only thing I needed to do was flip the sway bar, but a member dropped the rear part of the cradle to install them anyway so it wasn't that big of a deal.
 
didnt drop the cradle for even though i probly should have just pulled the engine waaaaaaaaaaay forward and slipped the rear one in after that one it went fairly smooth. just glad i got it done and over with. On the next mod!
 
is it just me or do they look like a set of Pacesetters that they just welded the 2-1 on the the back and made a 2 piece x over?
